Mosab's story is a poignant one, and the documentary certainly does the relationship which developed between Mosab and Gonen justice, as do the actors who portray them in the interview scenes. However, the choice of episodic structuring regarding Mosab's story was not, in my opinion, justified, and it gave the plot a confused, hit-and-miss vibe. Some of the episodes were completely devoid of a key element which would justify their presence, and in the end it made the plot seem more piecemeal than it was. Naturally, when telling a true story, one cannot expect the same plot twists seen in Hollywood, but there are better ways to approach the construction of a real-life story than the one chosen in the making of this documentary.
It's worth watching, but more out of credit to Mosab than the documentary.
